Get a used film scanner. No contest.
I have a lot of medium format film to scan as well and even some 4x5, so a film
scanner is pretty much out of the question. In any case, the Epson 700 with a
d-max of 4.0 and 4800 dpi native resolution appears to be very close in
performance to some film scanners.
Well, that's just the performance of the image sensors, and the conventional
wisdom is that general-purpose flatbeds are poorer than dedicated film scanners
due to optical limitations...
Of course, but in practice the best Epsons seem quite good. The 700 reportedly
has two lenses. I don't know what that means exactly or how much of a
difference it makes. In any case, the only film scanner that would be suitable
would be one that accommodates medium format, and those are very expensive.

Which means the resale value would be quite high.....
